Just start working with the buttons on the watch and find the different menus available. You will stumble onto the time and date function. It will just take a bit of patience but you can do it! It's there, it's like other watches you've worked with.

mcdevito75 here, Over Forty (40) years ago, watch manufactures added, to some of their ANALOG (wind up) and almost all of their DIGITAL (button display) watches the FEATURE of the, MONTH or DAY of the WEEK and the DATE, not only was the time of day available but also the DATE which you no longer had to go searching for, it was readily available on your wrist. The PROBLEM came with SETTING the CORRECT MONTH or DAY of the week and the DATE as some MONTHS HAD 31 DAYS rather than 30 DAYS, this meant you had to CYCLE your watch at least 62 times to get to the CORRECT DATE and mant times, when you finally did reach the CORRECT DATE, the day of the week was off, meaning more CYCLES thru the 24 hours.-------- HERE is the EASY way to SET the MONTH or DAY / DATE on your QUARTZ / MECHANICAL (STEM) watch without haveing to go thru the 24 hour cycle so many, many times.

I bought my bf this watch for christmas... i set it before i gave it to him... it is the me1045
It took me forever to figure out how to set it, and even longer to actually set it. The instructions fossil gives are useless, and the two side buttons do absolutely nothing.

So.. to set the day of the month, you have to spin the knob clockwise for 24 hrs for each day.
So, if it says 2nd, and the date is actually the 4th in the am, you have to spin it 4 times around the face, ie 48 hrs. If you go over, you're screwed and have to go all the way around again which, trust me, takes a really, really long time. Going counter-clockwise will not change the date, only the day.

The day of the week will change with the day of the month. Don't worry; they might not match up at the end. It may be the 4th and say it's monday. That's okay, because, unlike the day of the month, the week days can be turned backwards by turning the dial counter-clockwise.
Remember to take into account whether you are in the AM or PM. PM will require an extra turn beyond when it first switched to the date.

Turning it backwards didn't work on my watch. I ended up winding the time ahead several days worth to show the right day of the week (being careful to turn it to the correct 9 o'clock of the day, for me is was the first for morning.) Then I could go ahead and change the date using the first click postition of the stem.
